(And sorry for taking so long to respond). :) I agree that God is far more concerned with who we are than what we do.Joel B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-11302692942949786532009-11-20T14:16:36.654-06:002009-11-20T14:16:36.654-06:00Love it, so true. People gather together and do, whatever it is they do, with people who accept them for who they are. It doesn&#39;t matter if you find it in a bar or church, if you need fellowship (as you said, we all do) you will find it, wherever it is being offered.<br /><br />I think Jesus was/is far more concerned with WHO people are then What they DO. If a man/woman knows WHO he/she is in Christ, the doing will take care of itself. <br /><br />Good post, Joel. I am enjoying your blog.Davedahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14182993023405516646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-40609837842037063212009-11-20T11:54:19.814-06:002009-11-20T11:54:19.814-06:00Yeah, Jamie... shhhhhh! lol<br /><br />WC... exactly. &#39;Conformation to our ways&#39; is not quite unconditional love, is it! Yep, I&#39;d rather hang out with people with whom I can freely be who I am in Christ.<br /><br />Anne... thanks so much. I really appreciate that.

Meaning you will not be embraced by us until you look like us.<br />How is that for &#39;conditional - love&#39;?<br /><br />You dare not be who you are in Christ.<br /><br />I too would sooner hang out with rebel reprobates.Walking Churchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07108948078929712054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-49945513341199100312009-11-19T13:13:09.279-06:002009-11-19T13:13:09.279-06:00WELL! I&#39;m SHOCKED. SIMPLY SHOCKED! I suspected your &quot;party people&quot; mentality when we got together in Ohio. *AHEM* I&#39;ll forego the sordid details. :DJamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16376340819465748862noreply@blogger.com
